Re: swagger passat

IMO the lesson is don't buy FK, just my opinion though based on the many FK products I bought in the past.

Re: swagger passat

well what a trip. just got home yesturday from kelowna and i had some issues with the car out there. it wouldn't start which ended up being the shifter not being fully engaged so the car wouldnt start. well i get home and bam the car spudders and dies, try to start it again, same issue. cheched to see if i had any fuel coming out of my lines to the injectors, nothing. fingers crossed its a relay otherwise i may be installing a new fuel pump

Re: swagger passat

huge thanks to eldo for coming by with his vag-com. so here are the codes pulled:

17072 - power supply relay j271, load circuit open
17633 - cylinder 1 - fuel injector circuit, short to ground
17634 - cylinder 2 - fuel injector circuit, short to ground
17635 - cylinder 3 - fuel injector circuit, short to ground
17833 - tank vent, valve short to ground
17955 - wastegate bypass regulator valve n75 short to ground (GND)
17525 - bank 1 sensor 2, heating short to ground
17843 - secondary air injection (AIR) pump relay -J299- short to ground(GND)
17829 - secondary air injection valve N112 short to ground (GND)
17697 - recirculating valve for turbocharger n249 short to ground (GND)
17949 - Fuel pump relay -J17- open circuit

so its looking like i am having an issue with some sort of short. hopefully its just the main relay and not a ecm. fingers crossed

Re: swagger passat

So shot some photo's since I was sick. I need a new camera, this point and shoot it always out of focus...

debating about keeping the wheels. I am ordering the new FK streetline coilovers for my car and lowering it and than deciding if I should just add spacers or go aggressive with 18x9 +25 and 18x10 +20. Also want the trunk lip spoiler and a TT antenna.

Re: swagger passat

Update on this horrible stance, thought I could pull off these springs but its not looking very promising. Removed the rubber spring perches late last year and it looks great till I test fitted a summer today at work. Honestly I thought it wouldn't be as bad as before but it still is going to be massively racked.

Re: swagger passat

time for coilovers

Re: swagger passat

Funny thing is I had them on order (but they were back ordered) and had to cancel due to my vacation costing a bit more than I anticipated

Anyone want to buy a 06 Gsxr?

Re: swagger passat
